Ross Sterling Turner (1847-1915), "The Shoals"
One of our favorite unsung artists, Ross Sterling Turner (1847-1915) created this lovely painting of the Isles of Shoals in August of 1887. The painting depicts Appeldore Island with the coast of York Maine on the horizon, the summit of Mount Agamenticus is viewable in the distance. During the 1880s Turner summered at the Shoals painting with his friend Childe Hassam.  

Turner's work is represented in many public and private collections including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, Fogg Museum at Harvard University, National Museum of American Art, Worcester Museum of Art, Peabody Museum of Salem, and Denver Art Museum. In recent years, Turner's work has been well represented in several major traveling museums exhibitions including "The Bostonians: Painters of an Elegant Age, 1870-1930" and "Awash in Color; Homer, Sargent and the Great American Watercolor."

Art Museums and Video

Museums have embraced video as a way to expand the reach of their exhibitions and programing.  The production quality and the information shared through these videos is profoundly changing the way we are able to interact with these institutions. We are able to access information which would have never been available other then through direct access with artists and curators. I hope the community will embrace these videos the same way the museums have. At this point I am always amazed at how few views are registered.

Two examples have been posted bellow, Tate Gallery's "TateShots" and the Metropalitan Museum of Art's "82nd and 5th". Wether through a youtube channel, vimeo, or art video sites such as artbabble.org the educational opportunities are limitless. These doorways of ideas open infinite possibilities to explore in art and culture. 

.


TateShots was launched in 2007 as a new monthly art programme available online and featuring highlights from Tate exhibitions, collections, public events and performances. 

Now part of 'Tate Channel' the programme still showcases a rich range of activities at the four Tate sites, via interviews with artists, studio visits, behind the scenes tours with curators and conservation experts and clips of unmissable artist performances.

82nd & Fifth is the Met's address in New York City. It is also the intersection of art and ideas. We've invited 100 curators from across the Museum to talk about 100 works of art that changed the way they see the world. Eleven Museum photographers interpret their vision: one work, one curator, two minutes at a time.

82nd & Fifth is a year-long series of 100 episodes. Throughout 2013, new releases will appear every Wednesday. Sign up for email announcements so you never miss one.
